Transforming Educational Systems to Support Organizational Learning and Improvement: A Cross-National Comparison of Opportunities and Obstacles (Table 36)

Sat, April 13, 11:25am to 12:55pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 200, Exhibit Hall B

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Educational systems worldwide are struggling to expand high-quality learning opportunities for all students, in the context of pandemic-driven disruptions and crisis-level educator burnout and turnover. Traditional policy approaches that emphasize fidelity of implementation are unlikely to support improvement at scale amidst these challenges. This session spotlights five novel approaches to system transformation in England, Israel, Singapore and the US. Each case describes an endeavor to transform systems into learning organizations where problems of practice are tackled by educators and schools working together, and often with non-system actors, to adaptively integrate policy solutions. Authors and a session discussant will engage participants in analyzing the work and obstacles of system transformation as it unfolds in differing contexts.
